Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Marsden. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Marsden and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Marsden I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Marsden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
